Review - Chanel Bronze Universel - Soleil de Tan

Thursday, 9 May 2013

A somewhat cult beauty product is the Chanel Bronze Universel. A cream bronzer you say? Light like a mousse? Blends like a dream? Why yes, indeed.

This product has been in my stash for a while now however in the last month the sun has finally popped it's little head and I have been able to take full advantage of this product. It isn't too orange or muddy so will suit paler skin tones however anyone with dark skin tones may find this too light as it only comes in one colour.

I love to use this to create a golden glow, it gives a Blake Lively/Victoria Secret-esque bronzed glow to the skin. It could be used to contour however I prefer to use this to give the skin a healthy tan effect, blending it onto the high points of the face and focusing on those temples! It isn't streaky and buffs in seamlessly into the skin like no bronzing powder I have ever encountered! It really is a must have if you are after a creamy, dewy complexion or if you don't love powder bronzers! A little goes a long way with this product so it is worth the £30 price tag as I have barely scraped the top of this! I find that it's perfect companion is the RT Expert Face Brush!

It blends out very, very well so it won't be too dark however if you are worried about the orangeness then you should go to a Chanel counter and ask them to apply it on you so that you can see whether you like the effect on the face or not because swatching it on your arm won't give you the best idea of how it will look. Plus for the price you want to be sure before you invest,x
